i was in the philippines last week with secretary hagel working to build the capacity to be great partners in dealing with disasters. this includes more than $3 billion for disasters in places like syria and south sudan. this past weekend, we noted with initial success an election in afghanistan that saw 60% voter turnout and a large proportion of women. those efforts were supported by the united states and other international partners and led by afghan institutions themselves. budget have been tight and this budget does make tradeoffs. we have now launched a u.s. global development lab that is bringing businesses, scientist, te technologist together. we are seeing interesting results. we will spend $5.7 to get banks to $133 to farmers in columbia, peru and guatemala. that kind of leverage and scale is what is possible if we do things in a more creative and effective way. let me close by saying thank you. i had the opportunity to deliver the speech at the national prayer breakfast. it reminded me when we come together to serve the world's most vulnerable people this cuts across party lines

and i think we saw the demonstration of this when secretary hagel on the other handed the b-52s and b-2s to come out from their bases in, i think, missouri and north dakota and participate in the u.s./rok military exercises. i'll just reiterate what i've been preaching, and some of you may be a little tired of what i said. but i have always thought that withdrawing the b-52 squadron from guam in 1951 was a bad idea of the first bush administration. and it's an idea that still ought to be reversed. we ought to have a permanent bon guam that can cost wise, frankly, not cost as much, frankly, as it would to base them in missouri or north dakota, but would have a more clear cut, positive impact on deterrence not only with regard to north korea, but if need be, china as well. now, i hope what secretary hagel authorized will lead to some thinking about bringing back a squadron of heavy bombers to guam. and i'd like to get steve's comment on that as well. i agree with steve, the middle east is not going to go away. i think the chances are very high that iran, if it chooses, will get nuclear
